Right, sorry about this, but I need my sister to help me chose an outfit, so...

I know, I've done this before, but it's so simple I can't help but do it again. Maybe I'll make one every summer forever.

Again, all you need to do is make a rectangle the width of your shoulders and back, and as long as you want it to hang. I just used a basic shell (3dc in one stitch), then sew up the outer edges to make arm holes.

I did a couple of rows of dc with a smaller hook around the arm holes and edges just to give it a nice finish, but that's it.

Love it.

Dear crochet lovers (and pirate fans), apologies for the long, long absence but it's been a whirlwind of busyness getting the Home Store up and running. We are now finally into the swing of things and I've had a chance to get my hooks out and get making again.

This tricorn pirates hat pattern is now available to buy form my Etsy shop and comes in 2 sizes, 1-3 years and 4-7 years, and is in honour of the annual Pirate Day festival that is held in Hastings every year.
